Legacy Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

The Christian life is no anti-climax. Jesus invites us to life in all its fullness.When Jesus calls Peter to ‘come follow me’ he doesn’t leave Peter in the dark. He says come follow me, and I will make you into a fisher of men. Jesus had a journey of transformation in mind for Peter. Discipleship.

If you’re feeling stuck, your faith stagnant – listen to this episode. Sometimes we need a nudge to awaken us again. To grow in the freedom of putting Christ first. To live a generous and grateful life with God and our family.

We had one episode on failing as a father. But what about deep failure?

The last verses of the Old Testament, Malachi 4:5-6 says, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”

Join us as we take a deep dive into this verse, and speak to a man with extensive experience in helping families who have experienced profound hurt turn towards each other, find healing and, where possible, restoration.

Today we are privileged to have Willie Patterson on the Legacy Podcast. Willie was the Assistant Director for 'Family and Child Care', and then took early retirement to set up Family Spectrum in 2004.

“To have a father who delights in knowing and loving them is one of the greatest blessings any girl can have.”

In the third and final ‘square-table’ conversation, Andy and Stephen are joined by Jonny McKane and Evan Reid, to talk about raising daughters today.

—

Reflection from Stephen:

We can sometimes fight against the reality that our daughters will one day become women and will leave home. As Andy says near the end of this episode: “I don’t want my daughter to change!”

Who relates? I know I want my one and half year old daughter to forever stay small, cute and slightly squidgy!

At the heart of this feeling is a mix of love and joy. Yet, what I learned in this conversation was that the loving, joyful relationship between a father and his daughter is foundational and formative in her journey to womanhood.

Of course, there is much we need to think about as we raise our girls (and we cover a lot in this episode), but never underestimate the place of joy.

To have a father who delights in knowing and loving them is one of the greatest blessings any girl can have.

In this conversation we talk about:

• The joys of being a father to a daughter
• How we can exasperate them
• Hopes and fears as your daughter grows from girl to woman
• How a father-daughter relationship changes over time
• Journeying with the emotions of your daughter
• Not being scared to speak
• Cherishing her now while preparing her for the future

Two songs for fathers with Daughters

1. Be kind to yourself - by Andrew Peterson
   A song from a father to a teenage daughter.
   We challenge any father to watch this video and have dry eyes at the end.
   V2
   "I know it’s hard to hear it when the anger in your spirit is pointed like an arrow to your chest.
   When the voices in your mind are anything but kind, and you can’t believe your father knows best.
   I love you just the way that you are, I love the way He made your precious heart.
   Be kind to yourself"
2. Banks - By NEEDTOBREATHE
   A song about caring without controlling.
   Chorus:
   "I want to hold you close, but never hold you back.
   Like the banks of a river"

“Fatherhood is a journey punctuated by moments”. Paul Paynter says that on our podcast - so he does! The journey and the moments. As dads, we need to keep both in mind.

Co-Hosts Andy and Stephen are joined on the Legacy Podcast by David McGinty, David Penney, Paul Paynter, Paul Decock and a young man called Nathaniel to have a round table on Raising Sons Today.

Here’s our summary.

What we do over the long run will greatly influence our sons. They will notice our priorities. They will be shaped by the atmosphere we create. And they will, in large part, follow our model of masculinity.

But moments will also have a defining influence on our sons. Decisions around tech. Trips abroad. A conversation about girls late at night. How we mark key milestones is something intentional fathers think about. All of these moments have the potential of deeply shaping our sons’ lives. Moments, though, can be easily missed. In Jon Tyson’s Book - The Intentional Father he says: “So much of our lives is defined by moments. Moments of wonder, moments of heartache, moments of accomplishment, moments of regret. An intentional father is aware of the power of moments and works hard in advance to create life-changing ones.”

In this episode we cover both the journey and the moments. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.

This is a wild ride and we talk about:

• raising sons in the digital world
• lies and honesty
• dangers and duties
• seizing moments
• vision and intention
• prioritising worship
• loving your wife
• influencing the atmosphere
• the thousand-mile stare
• working from home
• what boys need
• modelling faith
• challenging boys
• should I give my son a phone?
• what’s the difference between raising a son or a daughter
• words for a father whose son has rebelled
